The Bundesliga club have vowed to do everything in their power to land Van der Vaart, whose wife Sylvie works in the German city, but their initial offer of around £8million falls way short of Tottenham's valuation.

The London club are reported to be holding out for £14million for the Holland forward, and Villas-Boas is adamant he will not let the player go on the cheap. He told a press conference: "We have had interest from Hamburg, but an offer of that dimension is not something the player deserves." Tottenham should be respected as a club. (The transfer) doesn't seem to be happening."
